Sterling Dug Out drop: a delectable slab of talking drums and late night rasta soul by a former Jamaican drumming champion, recorded at Harry J. Studio and mixed at King Tubby’s, 1976.
Fronted by Leroy ‘Mabrak’ Mattis, and originally issued on his Lightening & Thunder label (Issat Mabrak in Amharic), Drum Talk was conceived as an extension of his Liquid Talk version for Harry J’s personal mix of the legendary Liquidator Riddim - essentially a live version loaded up with his own drumming - which impressed Tubby so much that he asked Mabrak to do a full album of Harry J riddims.
Drum Talk is that album, and it’s a beauty. In terms of smoked-out midnight vibes, it’s about as close as you’ll come to the deeply cherished reissue of the Dadawah album in Dug Out’s catalogue but, it’s also more danceable, if you’re partial to a woozy skank.
For percussion nuts and Jamaican music lovers, Drum Talk comes with the warmest recommendations.
